Life Forced Me into a Tailspin so I Changed Directions
The new me is a little overweight, maybe 10–15 pounds, but still sexy as hell. My hair color is varied; according to the box the base color is Beeline Honey, but a stylist added light blond and auburn highlights. At one time, they blended beautifully. Then the grey roots grew exposing a skunk line down the middle of my head. I covered that with some anti-grey wash-in dye my husband used and learned "Just For Men" means not for women.

I’ll never forget my first real run. It was in high school gym class. We had to run around a track for 10 minutes. It had been years since I’d played a good game of tag or had run very far at all.

Introducing Restlessness Worst Nightmare: The Lull Luxe Hybrid Mattress
As a new parent, I have quickly learned the value of sleep. I am now a mother of a precious 8-month old baby girl and the past eight months have been amazing, challenging, and life-changing! I cannot lie, those first few months were a complete blur, but now that our sweet baby girl has been sleeping through the night, we’ve been able to gain back some of those lost hours and we are so very happy about that. We are even more thrilled, because not only have our stretches of sleep increased, but we’ve also seen an improvement in the quality of our sleep.

Since making the switch, my husband and I have both been noticeably sleeping so much better! This is all thanks to our new mattress: The Lull Luxe Hybrid!
